Charleston Briefs.

The heavy eastery winds have caused I'M
usually high tides during the past few days.
1t having been reported that a petition
has been sent to the Governor, asking the
pardon of |. Hyman, now in the penitentiary
for the murder of Fanny Corcoran, a coun-
ter-petition is now circulating in the upper
wards asking that the Executive refuse to
exercise the pardoning power in Hyman's
case.
Gov. Richardson has offered reward of
$50 for the apprehension and conviction of
the person or persons who murdered Thomas
Francis Croghan in Charleston on Aug. IL.
Ii it had been possible, the Governor would
have offered $500 in this case but his con
tigent fund was small at first and is now
nearly exhausted
Ever since March carpenters and brick
layers have been busily engaged in repair
ing Benefits rice mill and the adjacent
buildings at the foot of Wentworth street.
Every piece of the mill property was seri-
ously damaged, but they have all been re-
paired or rebuilt, and are now in readiness
for the new crop of rice.
A planter at Mount Pleasant says that on
the sea islands, and in the country contIgu-
Gus to Mount Pleasant, there was no danger
anticipated TO the sea island cotton from the
caterpillar The reports are that the cater
pillar has appeared in spots on nearly every
plantation, but no damage, IL any, is eX-
pected to anything but the top crop. IL is
expected, however, that the recent rains
will develop more of the animals but the
crop is so far advanced that no general or
serious loss is anticipated.
The prospect is that the present year will
be a most successful one with both the tur-
pentine manufacturers aud their factors,
says the NeiCS and Courier. One of these
factors, who deals largely in naval stores,
said yesterday that the crops had been ex-
cellcnt and very appreciably greater than
those of last year. The spring and summer
crops had already been put upon the mar
ket, but the "sclape' was yet TO be handled,
inwhich, however, there was no reason 10
anticipate falling off The fine prospects

FLORIDA'S ORANGES.
Indications of Large Drop of tho
Golden Fruit.

Golden Fruit.
A Jacksonville, Fla. paper contained an
interview the other day with a well known
orange grower of that State, in which he
said that this years crop would be only two
thirds of the average yield. He con-
sidered Marion and Sumter counties
the largest producers, and judg-
ing from their crops, he concluded
that the general crop would be small. But
the reports from all portions of the orange
growing sections rather dispute this asser-
ton. The commission merchants here, who
have carefully looked up the subject, and
have reports from all parts, say that the
crop will be large and full. Col
sioner of the South Florida railroad
and one of the best posted men in the State
on the citrus culture, gave it as his opinion
that the crop would be a large one, and a
great surprise to those who were bewailing
the expected short crop.
Mr.. Ives, the General Manager of the
Florida Fruit Exchange, was in the city a
fortnight ago, and he expressed the opinion
that the crop would be a
good one in every respect. Many
young groves will come into bearing this
year and will more than make up for the
few old groves that will bear sparsely this
season. The commercial agencies also give
very encouraging reports of this crop, and
doubtless the Florida orange growers will
be happily disappointed when they come to
gather it. Putnam and Orange county are
really two of the main orange sections and
all reports from them are encouraging.

A VALUABLE RELIC DISCOVERED.
A Report of a Meeting of Citizens
Held in January, 1865.

- lsCPOIb vi q u1CSOlllB VI SlblACAlo
Held in January, 1865.
The publication in the MORNING NEWS
of the story of Col Julian Aliens noble
work in securing from the people of the
North provisions for the inhabitants of this
city when, after its capture by Sherman,
they were left in dire need of food and fuel,
has brought to light valuable relic that
might otherwise have moldered away and
been forgotten. 1t is printed report of the
proceedings of a public meeting held IN
the Council chamber Jan. %, 1865. The
meeting was held in consequence of a call
which was embodied i'll the form of reso
luton and passed by the City Council, and
its purpose was to enable the citizens to ex-
press their thanks to the citizens of New
York and Boston for provisions furnished.
Mayor Arnold was elected chairman, and
he delivered to the meeting an address, in
which he referred to the terrible condition
into which the people were thrown by the
capture of the city, which rendered Confed-
ate money useless. He then commented in
the most graceful terms upon the kindness
of the people of New York and Boston in so
promptly coming forward, of their own ac-
cord, to render assistance when it was
so badly needed He introduced Messrs.
Archibald Baxter, c. H. p. Babcock and
Frank Lathrop, of New York, and Messrs.
IL. ~. Briggs, w. ii. BALDWIN and ii, IL.
Hyde, of Boston, the committees who came
South with the two steamers, the "Rebecca
Clyde and the ''Greyhound,n loaded with
provisions. On motion Mayor Arnold APP
pointed the following committee to draft
resolutions; Wylly Woodbridge, N B.
Knapp, 7. r. Mills, William Hunter, G. W.
Wylly, e. Padelford. A. Champion, A. A.
Solomons, John Mcmahon, Isaac Cohen, T.
j. Walsh, John r. Wilder and H. A. Crane.
Lengthy resolutions, returning thanks, were
unanimously adopted, and in them Col
Julian Allen was not forgotten.
AT the end of the printed report was writ
ten the following notes:

SLOWLY APPROACHING.
The Low Temperature Line Comini
Closer by Degrees.


Closer by Degrees.
The CO. temperature line is approaching
nearer every day. Last night it was re-
ported in Tennessee and the prospects are
good for cooler weather here soon.
The mercury yesterday touched the
81 mark, while the average
was So, being Il below the normal. The
temperature was stationary at all points in
this district, Waycross, Quitman and Jesup
reporting 81. Savannah was the coolest
place in this section. The temperature fell
in all the other districts. Galveston is
the only cotton district reporting rain. Rain
fell in the Western Gulf States,
the Upper Mississippi and Missouri
Valleys and the extreme Northwest.
The barometer was highest last night in the
Missouri valley, and lowest i'll the Rio
Grande valley and the New England States.
High winds are reported from all the sta
tons of the Middle Atlantic section-the
effect of the cyclone. The indications for
to day are for fair weather, with slight
changes of temperature.

A QUICK TRIP.
The Yacht Naomi Makes Fernandina
in Eighteen Hours.

A dispatch from Fernandina to Capt. +.
C. Wylly, stated that the yacht Naomi
passed that city at II o'clock Wednesday.
The Naomi thus gives promise of scoring
one of her most glorious victories in the
coming race, for if in the race she can
make the same speed that she did in the
trip down, she will leave the best of the
Florida yachts out of sight. IL is
not probable that Capt Kemp
sailed during the night, so the trip
was made in about eighteen hours. She
sailed in that time the entire length of the
Georgia coast and more. Capt. Kemp and
n negro boy were the only ones on the boat.
but they were enough TO manage her and
sail her faster than her fondest admirers
expected she could travel.
The date of the race is somewhat uncer-
tain now and Capt. Wylly has photographed
to know just when it will take place as

Sixteen Base Hits.

MEMPHIS, TENN, Aug. 25.--With Smith
in the box and Reccius, the new player
guarding third base, Memphis had no
difficulty in getting away with Birmingham
this afternoon. Esterquest yielded sixteen
hits, but showed marked improvement on
the form he displayed here on previous
trips Stallings played behind the bat ior
birmingham and acquitted himself credit
ably. The features of the game were the
fielding of McAleer and Duffy, Reccius
the new player, is somewhat of a disappoint-
ment, but his errors and wild throws were
doubtless due to nervousness. He is a good
base runner and an average batter. The
score by innings follows:
